I have no idea on this at all. I would venture a guess that it is Chinese though judging from the rather "squarish" properties of the writing.

For a time the Chinese didn't mark their porcelain with the Emperor's seal but with lozenge, leaf and other marks. Haven't seen this one before though and would need to handle this to be sure. Glaze looks fine though

Found something similar. School of thought is that these could be shop marks

I have a piece that is similar to this and the mark is basically a shop mark.  These marks are found on domestic pieces that are common ware for the Chinese.  I would think that it is mid to late Qing.  It is well decorated and not as crude as some of the others that I have seen.  If anyone else has a different opinion then please feel free to jump in.  Hope this helps.
